Essex County Council School Travel Plans –

All schools in Essex have free access to the Modeshift STARS online tool. This provides the entire framework needed to develop, maintain and improve a School Travel Plan, with the chance for schools to progressively earn Bronze, Silver and Gold Accreditation. If your school would like to develop their own Travel Plan, contact travelplanteam@essex.gov.uk for more information.

Support cycling, walking, scooting and other forms of sustainable travel with a School Travel Plan. These can decrease the traffic levels around your school, improving both safety and air quality, and develop a healthier, happier school population. Schools can compete against each other every term in ‘The Eco Race’, with awards to be won.

The Safer Essex Roads Partnership (SERP) has brought together the three local authority areas of Essex County Council, Southend-on-Sea Borough Council and Thurrock Council to provide a road safety service across ‘Greater Essex’.

The other SERP partners are Essex Police, Essex Fire and Rescue Service, Highways England, The Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust, The East of England NHS Trust and The Safer Roads Foundation.

If you would like to arrange for an officer from the Road Safety Team to visit your school to delivery road safety walks to reception classes and pedestrian training to Year 5 pupils, please email; SaferEssexRoads@essexhighways.org
